Question

Two rectangles are similar. The length of the smaller rectangle is 5 units, and its width is 2 units. What is the width of the larger rectangle if the length is 7 units?

Answer 1

14/5

Explanation:

So we can turn this into a ratio. Then turn it into fractions. It would look like this.

5/2 = 7/x

cross multiply to get 5x = 14

divide each number by 5

x = 14/5
